I feel like we’ve had a few of these threads.
Fell swoop, etc.
Back in the day I used to have brackets inside of brackets. Pretty wild, huh?

one of my favourites is the distinction between ‘less’ and ‘fewer’. if they’re discrete entities you’re comparing, like people or games, it’s fewer, otherwise if it’s a continuous mass like butter or jam, it’s ‘less’.
Ironically, there’s only one word for the opposite ‘more’.

I hate this one with an irrational passion.

I’m just glad that the ‘literally’ debate seems to have been settled.
I credit millennials.
It was like they said, ‘we’re not That stupid.’
Just between you and I
